Developed by Tom Ruetgers
Abstract
Crisis Management in general terms defines how an organization or Individuum respond to an unwanted (suddenly) occurred event. The terminology gets used in several different contexts. The most popular are: politic, nature, financial and organization sector. This wiki article focus on crisis management within an organization in a project management environment. It will introduce how project management teams can identify crises and present varying approaches to deal with crises. No matter how well a project is planed and prepared, due to the rapidly changing world and constraints it is impossible to eliminate all unknown variables. therefore, a special focus on risk management should be set in the preparation of a project to prevent events which could lead to a crisis as much as possible. Which sounds theoretical spoken quite simple is in the practical world often more difficult. Almost all projects run under tough conditions regarding all resources as budget, manpower and time. Subsequently, it is not surprising that approximately 70% of all major projects and programs fail to achieve their objectives. [1]
